BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

Episode 8: Illusion in the Dark Fantasy

Lili continued to drive dangerously in the woods without light. As usual, the dark green car rocks more than necessary, while proceeding to the back of the woods. Instead of making her feel bad, Allen enjoyed the shaking like that attraction.

It was Belle who had been experiencing the past for a while, but is drawn back to reality by Lili's rambling driving. Bell couldn't have been in this car any longer.

"I can't do this anymore." If you want to get in your car, you better walk!

"Shut up! If that's what you're saying, I'll let you walk for real!

Bell's words impair Lili's eclampsia, which he thought he had come to get used to driving. Needless to say, Lili's driving skills have not changed significantly compared to the first days.

"Oh, let me do that!

"What!

................................................................................................................................................................................................................... "

To the rebellious bell, a change happens to the car when Lili tries to say it back again. All of a sudden the headlight light went out and the three sights darkened. Disturbed Lili hastily hung up the steering wheel many times without darkness.

Gashern!

As a result, Lili's steered car crashed into something. It's in the woods, so it's probably the tree or something that hit the car. With the shock of hitting something, Lili and Bell smash their heads thoroughly into the windshield.

"Painful"

"It hurts."

The two raised their voices simultaneously. Allen, who was sitting in the middle trying to get pinched by Bell and Lili, fortunately never hit his head anywhere.

"... I'll never get in your car again!

With a grumpy look, Bell lights a flame on his right hand. Like it was Adford's coal mine, I'm going to use the flames instead of pine lights to illuminate the area.

When the front of the car was illuminated by flames, it became clear that the car was colliding head-on with Ogi. The bonnet did not retain the prototype, from which the smoke was rising.

".................. eh"

Lili laughs and tries to cut through the spot when she sees a car that's gone without them either. She caused the car she had given way from Lambert.

"If you can't drive, drive from the beginning."

"'Cause you were doing great earlier, weren't you? It's because the lights suddenly went out!

"Brother, sister. Don't fight!

As the two were arguing, Allen pinched his mouth there. Belle and Lili are like parents to Allen. I guess you don't want to see the two people you love say and argue.

………………

Allen's claim brought silence on the spot. When Bell gets out of the car in silence, Lili and Allen also get out of the car in silence, as the three stopped in the dark woods. The trees that have grown so thick that they cover the heavens are so tall everywhere that they have trapped this forest in the dark.

It's still supposed to be bright out there, but the sunlight hasn't reached any of the woods. The forest was dominated by total darkness. Without Bell's flames, you wouldn't even be able to get physical.

"Wow..."

It was Lili who broke the silence that lasted a while. She opens her mouth wide and yawns without worrying about her eyes around her.

"There was a lot going on in Renato. You can sleep."

Bell, reflecting on the strong hit on Lili, shows care. It is true that the last day spent in Renato was marked by various events. They didn't sleep properly, and the three of them fought for a long time.

"You can't sleep in a dark, scary place like this."

Lili's reply was something that Bell would not have expected at all. Because he thought it was something that Lili would appreciate very much.

"Don't complain! Moon Guard (Luna Guard) won't catch up for the time being if we get here. If you want to sleep, now's the time."

"Okay..."

Lili answered Bell dissatisfied. The truth was I wanted to be arguing more, but she was being attacked by a sleeper.

⁉ ︎

That's when, for some reason, the woods just got a little brighter. It's still dark, but what lies ahead is now only marginally visible. Did the sun arrive from the gaps in the trees, which was convenient for the three of us?

"Ji......"

Lili stares at Bell's face all the time since the thin lights lit up in the woods. For some reason she looked dissatisfied.

"Hey, what is it? I'm not doing what you think I'm doing! You porn girl."

Perceived in Lili's heart, Bell denies her thoughts at the speed of light.

"Wow, what am I thinking! Because there's absolutely nothing like what you imagine! Erotic kid."

Against Bell, Lili also desperately denies it. Lili blushed her cheeks and began to collect the falling leaves that were falling at her feet. I guess I'm going to sleep alone in this place by the car.

"Hey. Allen, you don't look sleepy at all, okay?

Lili, worried about Fu and Allen, speaks to Allen, who was collecting leaves with her next door.

"Yeah! You don't have to worry about me. I'm not hungry, and I'm not sleepy! But if your sister's going to sleep, I'm going to sleep too!

Allen answers that with an extraordinary smile: Lili was uncomfortable to see Allen pimping, who should be the least fit of the three.

"I'll see how it goes around there."

"Hey, don't worry, you can't sleep!

"If you're anxious, you don't have to sleep until I get back."

Approximately an anxious lili, Bell disappeared from her sight. After Bell left, I felt like countless eyes were looking at me for some reason, and Lili couldn't sleep.

A while later, Bell was walking a little further away from where the car was parked. I don't know what lurks in the dim woods, illuminating with flames.

…………

At the end of Bell's gaze he walked, the carcass of a devoured beast was rolling. Bell accidentally pinches his nose at the intense rotten odor emanating from it.

"That's disgusting..."

At the destination of the bell, which continues as it is, the carcasses of a beast similar to those of earlier are rolling around there. All of them were corrupt and wanted flies. What spreads to his sight is a distinctly different sight. Are unidentified monsters hunting beasts lurking in this forest?

The carcasses of corrupt beasts also appeared to be in regular line. That was as if it was leading Bell somewhere.

Going down the road for a while, the light popped into Bell's eyes. It should still be bright outside the woods. Could I finally get out of the woods? Bell felt bright and followed the remains of the beast.

"This is..."

What Bell saw when he reached the light was a nostalgic view. Strangely in front of Bell, there was a view of the forest in his hometown of Riorg.

The Bells fled from Renato in the Kingdom of Sertoria. If we don't cross the desert, we can't possibly reach Riorg, the Commonwealth of Limia. Bell understood it, but he is fascinated by the sight he misses.

"........................... brother?

And Bell rubs his eyes against further incredible sights. It was a familiar figure who appeared in the glowing woods.

It was Bell's brother Hugo who was there. He can't be on this spot again, either, but Bell's eyes were nailed.

"Anchor or Iris?

Even then, one after another, Bell sees a nostalgic face. Nestled beside Bell's brother Hugo was an anchor, and someone who said Iris, both of whom were childhood friends of Bell, and they were brothers and sisters.

"Why are you guys here..."

Bell rubbed his eyes many times before the incredible sight. Friends who spent their childhood together now exist in front of them. The Black Moon incident 11 years ago left the four of them separated, but now they are reunited.

"Belle, you're late."

That's when Hugo opens his mouth. A familiar nostalgic voice reached Bell's ear.

Is this a dream or an illusion? Bell thought so, but accepted the nostalgic and warm sight that spreads in front of him. Bell understood inside to say that the sight in front of him might be illusory. Their appearance is no different from that found in Bell's memory, and they remain children no different.

Hugo, Anchor and Iris, all three of whom exist in no different shape than they were 11 years ago.

Hugo has brighter blonde hair than Bell and is dressed in a grey suit. He has a big blue butterfly tie wrapped around his neck, like a little gentleman.

The anchor is wrapped in a red bandana over blonde hair similar to Bell's. A worn shirt, a long, red cloth wrapped around the waist, and a wrist wristband. It's the fashion of finding out that I admire pirates.

The red dot Iris has brown hair and three knitted offerings. She wraps a brown corset around her shirt and weaves a red cardigan. A soft skirt in thin pink on the lower body. It's fashion like a forest girl.

All three remain as they were 11 years ago. Is that possible? Even Bell, who has spent 11 years in prison, has grown splendidly. And yet there's no way they haven't grown at all.

But Bell, who was immersed in a moment of happiness, would be drawn back to reality in an instant.

Someone appeared behind Bell and ran to three friends. Bell looks incredible and stunned. What a bell the identity of the person who rushed to the three of them was.

The "bell” that emerged from behind the bell is clearly younger than the current bell. Whatever you think, it's just like it was 11 years ago. Having seen the sight, Bell learns that there is.

The sight that is now spreading in front of me is exactly the same as the nostalgic memories of 11 years ago. casual everyday fragments when it was still peaceful.

Is Bell sleeping and dreaming, or is he being shown illusions in some way? Things happen that confuse Bell even more at that time when I was circling my thoughts.

"Gehehehe......"

Oh, my God, Belzebub showed up in front of four fun kids. Yes, that Belzebub.

‼ ︎

Bell finds himself unexpectedly. Belzebub, who was supposed to have been repelled by Jake at Adford, appeared in a happy memory of why.

The four smaller Bells, Hugo, Anchor, and Iris do exactly what Bell remembers to do, but it's impossible for Belzebub to show up there.

11 years ago, it is hard to believe that these four children had contact with Belzebub.

"That sounds like a bunch of kids..."

Belzebub gets closer and closer to the four children and eventually strips his fangs. Helpless children are swallowed up without being able to resist. It's just strange they're not afraid of Belzebub at all.

At that moment, the figure of the four children disappeared like smoke. After not having to witness the hurtful sight, Bell strokes his chest down. I don't even want to see the sight of a young self and childhood taming eaten by Belzebub.

The moment the phantom children disappeared, somehow the light in the woods was lost.

Giro......

Shortly afterwards, Belzebub, who was attacked by the children, captures Bell's appearance.

Surely Belzebub is aware of Bell's presence. If only the four children you were looking at were illusions, and Belzebub interfered with you and you disappeared, what if Belzebub, who is there now, is not an illusion? Bell, thinking so, accidentally ran off the spot.

"You're lying..."

Bell's heart beating, fleeing Belzebub at a glance, just quickens. Belzebub must have been badly wounded by a special item called "Remnants of the Extinguishing Stars”. Will that demon say that he has already healed that wound and quickly caught up with Bell?

If that's the case, is Jake safe? Various thoughts run around Bell's head. Now that he had acquired new moves, he could fight Belzebub, but Bell had a fear of the power of the devil beyond his intelligence that he had never felt. Besides, here are Lili and Allen, and Bell didn't have the confidence to protect them.

The devil has more power than Bell imagined and is by no means an insult; the fact that the devil, once supposedly repelled, said he had reappeared, had terrorized Bell.

If that Belzebub is real, not illusory, I don't have time to rest in this forest in swallows. If we don't get Lili and Allen out of here as soon as possible, it can be irrevocable.

Lili was asleep while she was also anxiously frightened at that time. No matter how scared you are, your body is honest. Lili, who was exhausted, seems comfortable, sleeping with her mouth mogged.

Allen, who was next to him, had his thin eyes open, though he lay down. If Bell doesn't stay by my side, I guess I'm worried.

Gassa......

Allen, blindfolded, notices disturbing noises. Something is nearby, and I come over here scratching the grass. Even the young Allen knew that. Gradually the sound grows louder.

Already at this time Allen was awake and nailed to the one who heard the sound coming.

Having a hunch that something unidentified was looming just that far, Allen was frightened, as in the case of the Adford fire. Allen, ruled by fear, is incapable of moving.

The louder the sound of scratching the grass, the louder Allen's heartbeat will be heard.

Gassssssss!

"Wow!

"Whoa!"

"What?"

A mysterious figure who has made noises so far pops up in front of him, and Allen accidentally shouts out loud. Anyone unidentified who was surprised by it raised his voice, and so he woke up. Lili also raised her voice unexpectedly.

"Oh, it's you."

It wasn't someone unidentified who popped up in front of Allen and Lili, it was Bell. Coming home in a hurry, Bell returned to his original place scratching the grass that grew unconstructively.

"Brother! Don't freak out!

Confirming Bell's appearance, Allen sighs loudly, relieving. I had nothing to worry about. Still, Allen is a fluke, angry that Bell surprised her.

"Hahaha I'm sorry....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Bell laughed and apologized to Allen, hastily reminding her of Belzebub's existence.

"He said it wasn't the other way around... something happened?

Seeing the bell hesitate, Lili snaps her neck.

"We just got out of these creepy woods. There was a Belzebub!

Fearing the unknown power of the devil, Bell grabs Lili and Allen's arm and immediately tries to leave the scene.

"Wait a minute, Belzebub is... eh, Belzebub ⁉ ●"

Lili listens to the story as she waves away Bell's hand grabbing her arm. Lili, who understood Bell's story a little late, was surprised to hear it out loud unexpectedly.

The Limia Federation and the Moon Guard (Luna Guard) are not the only ones after the Bells right now. Belzebub was after them too.
